- the vibration notification icon is always shown when vibration is enabled. it's smart also, because the user can see than vibration on !
- instead of the apple patented overscrolling, there's now that ugly blue overscrol effect
- the homescreen cycles now, if you're at your last homescreen you will jump to the first one and vice versa (looks a bit awkward due to the background "reset")This leaked version is an original (unmodified) Wipe Package from Samsung has:
it's NEW blue overscrol effect ! and I love it ! it's much sexy OVERSCROL than we got before
- It's super smooth and responsive, font smoothing is also improved.
- Definitely better than previous releases.
